In other words a complete upgrade with the GENERIC kernel would
be made with:

cd /tmp
ftp
ftp://ftp.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/NetBSD-2.0.2/i386/binary/sets/
bi
prompt
mg *tgz
bye

rm etc.tgz kern-GENERIC.MP.tgz kern-GENERIC_*.tgz
for i in *tgz
do
tar xpfz $i -C /
done

If this is correct, it could easily be run as an upgrade script.
